About David Oyelowo

Multi-nomination and award recipient David Oyelowo has made an extraordinary contribution to theatre, television and film. Globally recognised for his powerhouse performance as Martin Luther King in Selma, his Othello alongside Daniel Craig as Iago, his story-telling relish in Queen of Katwe and his beguiling and moving performance in the exquisitely beautiful film United Kingdom with Rosamund Pike, David has earned international distinction. His Javert in BBC One's Les Miserables has been described as "masterful", and his growls as the tiger in Channel 4's 2019 Christmas special of Judith Kerr's The Tiger Who Came To Tea earned him the title: “the Roger Moore of tigers”.

David Oyelowo plays the Tiger, alongside a stellar cast.

"Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to play the iconic Tiger from The Tiger Who Came to Tea? He’s a big cat of few words because he’s too busy eating! But I relished all of the growling, chomping and slurping, which called on me to find my inner cat."
